How To Make Shoe Covers for a Costume,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Some costumes need shoe covers in order to make the illusion complete. For example: an animal has furry feet that do not look like shoes, or perhaps a gentleman in full traditional dress needs spats and a particular kind of shoe. Those are hard to find! Or perhaps a medieval jester needs his upturned boots. Shoe covers can be an economical and easy way to supply the illusion of fancy footgear.
The easiest way to make shoe covers is to look for costume patterns that include them. Furry animal patterns usually include them. If your pattern does not, or you don't have a pattern, these instructions should help.
You will need ½ to 1 yard of the fabrics you want to use according to the size shoe cover needed, 6" of elastic at least ½" wide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a couple of yards of narrow Velcro,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a few sheets of plain white paper or graph paper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a tape measure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a sewing machine or needle and thread. Also any embellishments you would like to add to the finished items,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as buttons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ribbon or even sequins.
Measure a foot of the person you are making the shoe covers for,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Remember to have the person wear the shoes they plan to wear when wearing the costume,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! You will need the length and width. Add ¾" for a standard seam to all measurements.
Now decide how your shoe cover is going to look. This is going to require some creativity. You can use historical costume references if needed. Perhaps you could even blow up a photo to use as a pattern guide. You will need to draw a side view of what you want onto the paper to use as a pattern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], using the measurements you have.
Cut out the pattern you have created, and place it on the fabric,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is folded in half. Cut out two sets of two pieces of fabric. You will have four pieces, two for each shoe.
Sew two of the pieces,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], right side in,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], along the front sides. Sew a narrow hem around the bottom and the top. Sew a regular hem along the back of each shoe cover.
Attach the narrow Velcro to both sides of the long back seam of both shoe covers, the "fuzzy" strip on the outside edge of one seam,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the "hook" strip on the inside of the other seam,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so that they overlap.
